Polymer-free drug-coated stents provide superior clinical outcomes to bare-metal in patients at high bleeding risk who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and are treated with 1 month of dual antiplatelet therapy. Data on the use polymer-based drug-eluting stents, as compared polymer-free such limited.In an international, randomized, single-blind trial, we zotarolimus-eluting umirolimus-coated risk. After PCI, were therapy, followed by single The primary outcome was a safety...
Patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 may deteriorate rapidly and therefore continuous monitoring is necessary. We conducted an observational study involving patients mild COVID-19 to explore the potentials of wearable biosensors machine learning-based analysis physiology parameters detect clinical deterioration. Thirty-four (median age: 32 years; male: 52.9%) from Queen Mary Hospital were recruited. The mean National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) 0.59 ± 0.7. 1231 manual measurement performed...
Background A high proportion of COVID-19 patients were reported to have cardiac involvements. Data pertaining sequalae is urgent importance define subsequent surveillance. Methods We performed a systematic screening for 97 consecutive survivors including electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, serum troponin and NT-proBNP assay 1–4 weeks after hospital discharge. Treadmill exercise test magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) according initial results. Results The mean age was 46.5 ± 18.6 years;...
Little is known about the impact of provision handheld point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) devices on physical examination skills medical students.We describe an educational initiative that comprised a POCUS workshop followed by allocation device to students for use over subsequent 8 weeks. They were encouraged scan patients and correlate their findings. A mobile instant messaging group discussion platform was set provide feedback from instructors. Physical assessed means clinical...
Underutilization of guideline-directed heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) medications contributes to poor outcomes.
Advanced neurology diseases including motor neuron disease (MND) are usually progressive life-limiting illness and could be devastating for patients, families caregivers. Although medical technologies, such as enteral feeding non-invasive ventilation, may prolong life expectancy of the their utilization prompts important ethical questions in regard to quality (QoL). Little attention had been paid on how ACP practice would practically help with patients suffering from different diseases. We...
Carcinoid heart disease is an important complication of neuroendocrine tumors that may lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Right-sided valve involvement with consequent dysfunction one the common manifestations. Patients often have multiple, comorbidities advanced metastatic and, as such, not be suitable for surgical replacement due excessive risk. Transcatheter using balloon-expandable valves has been mainstay management these patients, particularly stenotic lesions but there...
The prognostic implication of statin in tolerance (SI) those with stable CAD remains unclear. We hypothesized that SI is higher significance patients elevated high-sensitive cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI). A total 952 from the prospective Hong Kong study who had complete clinical data, biomarker measurements and were prescribed therapy studied. identified 13 (1.4%) 125 (13.1%) partial SI, respectively. At baseline, more likely to have diabetes mellitus a hs-cTnI level, but no difference LDL-C...
Abstract Implementation of a critical care pathway (CCP) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been shown to improve early compliance guideline-directed therapies and reduce mortality. Nevertheless its long-term impact on the with medications or clinical outcomes remains unknown. Between 2004 2015, 2023 consecutive patients were admitted our unit ACS. We retrospectively compared 628 versus 1059 (mean age 66.1 ± 13.3 years, 74% male) managed before after full implementation CCP. Compared...
A 47 year-old male with known history of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) presented to our emergency department palpitation, heart failure and hypotension.Electrocardiogram showed monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) right bundle branch block pattern a superior axis.Echocardiogram dilated left ventricle ejection fraction 60%, A2 A3 severe posterolaterally directed regurgitation.Coronary angiogram was normal.Before consideration surgery implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) insertion,...
Transapical Neochord mitral valve repair has been proven to be a technically safe procedure correct primary regurgitation (MR). Recurrent MR due ruptured artificial chords is rare. Here, we present 2 cases of recurrent severe the detached or partially after procedure.
